Patented Aug. 3,'1 909.

To all whom it may concern: i Beit known that We, GEORGE A. HIRAM H. THOMPSON,

l MARSH and citizens of the United g States of America, and residents of Mershville, North Caroline, and Washington, Disi trict of Coluinlcie, respectively, have inventl ed certain new und useful Improvements in I l-'ireless Cookers, of which the following is n l specification. I Our invention relates to n. cookingnppn- 1 rutus und consists, more specifically stated, 1 in certain improvements in those device/sil which ure known ns tireless cookers, which, es is generally known, are receptacles provided with non-conducting wsllsend adeptl cd to contain food in its inner portions and nmintuin the same hot through a. long period of time. l

The object of our invention is to provide e device of this character which will be extremely etlicient tofobtain the desired purpose of maintaining the food hot.

ln the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is n vertical section of our improved receptecle; and Fig. i2 is a plan of'the seme with the outer cover removed;

'lhc body of the vessel docs not diii'er me-v terielly from tireless cookers as heretofore rounded by y left above the plete.

` the temperature outer casing A, and an inner receptacle B, the space between the Walls 'of said casing and receptacle being lled with any suitable nonheat-conducting material, such as hair The vessel B is supported by the `iiange C, projecting inwardly from the well of the out-er casing and is intended to remain ermenently within the seid casing. 'lt is c so provided with a handle E, whereby it muy be lifted off, the handle being prefab. ably ivoted to thepcover so that it een be folde` down Het.

Between the te of the vessel B and the top of the casing we leave a space to form an oir chamber, and in this space is adepte-:l to be placed e device for assisting in msinl taining the temperature of tlie articles of:

food, which have first pointis reached, and are then placed within the vessel B. The seidl device consists ein cast iron plete H sure covering oflnslestos I, fitting closely 1n the casing A, the seid covering having un opening J et the top through which an implement, such :is an ordinary stove lifter i een be inserted @put in place.

to lift the device out or to A space of about inch is Inpractice this aslrcstos-covered plate is heated to s. high tenopernture on a. stove or the like and then, after the food to be further cooked hasbeen placed in the vessel B, the hotesbestos-covered .plate is leid vesse and then the outer cover is put on the casing A. By

this ineens not.only is the heat of the food prevented from escaping but thereof is kept sulstantielly constant or may even increase for e time, the air chamber containing the hot piateforniing an excellent non-conductor for preventing loss of heat through the covers, -and also furnishing a. source of heat to assist in cooking the food.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim is:

A iireless cooker comprising en outer cesing and en inner vessel, non-heat conducting materiel between the Walls thereof, seid cesing and vessel 1teing provided with removable lint covers, the dimensions being such that en air-chamber is left between seid cov ers, and a metal plete covered with asbestos adapted to be placed in said air-cienl:e1I While hot.
